[TAS] [CamHack] GBA Sonic Advance "Sonic, no Ultraspindash" by Mukki in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/2028M
TAS originally published on 2012-05-05
In this run of Sonic Advance, the author doesn't take advantage of the game-destroying spindash glitch featured in the normal run ( tasvideos.org/1665M ). It goes somewhat slower because of this, but new inventive solutions are used to get through each act, and the result is still much faster than any oversized ferret ought to be moving.
--------
There are two encodes for this movie: The first is a standard encode and the second is a camhacked encode that keeps Sonic in the center of the screen more often.

13:35 tails left behind in the void, wondering if he was ever even real to begin with, then proceeds to bargin with the player to get him out of this empty land of nothingness, only to then wake up in his plane catching sonic falling from space, leaving tails to question meaning of his life.

[@Sonic6293]

At 3:45, you can see Sonic hit some spikes, lose his rings, recollect all 22 of them, and keep his forward momentum.

[@Trimint123]

*CAMHACK*

[@MasterCoolPlayer56]

Well he really went through the spikes bc how fast he went

[@rosspayne88]

I dunno what an "ultraspindash" is, but that's exactly how I would describe whatever the fuck Sonic is doing here.

[@Julian_Pepper]

The "ultraspindash" is somehow even more crazy. Charging up a Spindash by pressing 'A' every other frame 12 times consecutively (so 12 back to back frame perfect inputs) you can move so fast that it breaks multiple aspects of the game.

[@CookieficationJ]

instantly came down here to make almost the same comment

[@CabeliotCometier]

What Sonic is using here is an air dash of sorts exclusive to Advance 1 and 2, where double-tapping a direction in the air will multiply your speed. TASes can use this technique to devastating effect and gain unreasonable amounts of speed in very little time. This air dash is indicated by Sonic leaning forward in the air.

[@vytalman]

Wow! Now that's blast processing. ;)

[@sonicboy678]

Really seeing the inhumanly fast tech is both hilarious and awesome.
After seeing that title card, I can't help but wonder if Korone ever watches TAS videos...

[@twiztidjester3151]

Meanwhile, Tails is like "Wtf am I even doing here?"

[@SquidPartyDude]

I think he’s for bosses

[@cowgaming7186]

sonic moving at the speed he should be going at

[@kyco1]

My fav sonic game ever along with parts 2 and 3!

[@jamariuswalker1712]

[@jamariuswalker1712]

I got this, sonic advance 2 and 3 on the emulators!

[@GoohnSquad]

Your favorite sonic games and they're not even made by sonic team 😅. Rip dimps.

[@wanderingtyphlosion7332]

Stage one: the time bonus score counting down for longer than Sonic took to complete the stage

[@Schimnesthai]

The true Sonic 4

[@Romario94]

This is one of my favourite sonic games on the GameBoy

[@edge3220]

I always wondered what "camhack" meant on these Sonic runs, but I guess I never bothered reading the description before. lol

[@joaofernandes9756]

camhack fixes the game's camera, if you go to see the TAS of that same game without camhack, the difference is noticeable, sonic goes so fast that the camera can't reach, there's this glitch in sonic the hedgehog, which is the first game.

[@psistis80]

In the final cutsceen when Sonic lands on the Tornado, I imagine there is a blooper where there is a miscalculation and Sonic lands on the propeller

[@IvanFranco120]

LOL. 😅

[@RetroArcadeGuy]

Me: All right, let's see what's up... Uh-huh, normal intro. Normal character shuffle in character select screen, I do that at times. Yeah.
Also Me when game gets into gameplay: CHOTTO MATTE.jpg

[@kyramonnix1520]

Finally... after all these year I can see. xd

[@josephjennings3146]

There's parts in here that I don't get.
Like in most places, they just get the maximum points. Others, Don't, despite the fact they completed it so quickly

[@sonicboy678]

Exactly how many points you get depends on how quickly you finished. In order to get the largest bonus, you must finish in less than _half a minute_ (put another way, hitting the 30-second mark will drop your score).

[@mistashadow]

0:28 Why does he go backwards there?

[@timemine6107]

Wwowwwww 👏😮👏

[@jaylus5694]

I literally opened the video, tabbed out, and 30 seconds later I come back after hearing the goal sound wondering "wtf just happened??"

[@sonic5558]

Hey TASvideoschannel do you know shiro paradox?

[@SPVLaboratories]

What is movement sonic is doing when he Is running/bouncing every other frame

[@CabeliotCometier]

That's an air dash, initiated by double-tapping a direction in the air. Doing this will multiply your speed in that direction, which is exactly as busted as it sounds in the hands of a TAS. It's present in Advance 2 as well!

[@dumb_loser]

Korone is perfect for this video

[@ErikPAPATIE]

Bad ending is not collected and emeral

[@rust770]

wait was tails always following sonic in this game i dont remember that happening

[@ivanfrancoextraschannel2005]

I think there was an cheat code that allows tails to be an partner for Sonic, in single player... 🤔

[@Tobunari]

@@ivanfrancoextraschannel2005 There was

[@ivanfrancoextraschannel2005]

@@Tobunari Yeah... 😅

[@JustRidwan1]

Guys i think sonic is on drugs

[@pedrojose5313]

8:11 what?

[@imspunchdakoopa]

why use ultraspindash when you could use ultrathok

[@thewilliamsanimationprojec822]

Still did it faster when I was younger smh
